LOOKING BACK AT THE TWENTIETH CENTURY --$tIndex 330 $aBroken glass, twisted beams, piles of debris--these are the early memories of the children who grew up amidst the ruins of the Third Reich. More than five decades later, German youth inhabit manicured suburbs and stroll along prosperous pedestrian malls. Shattered Past is a bold reconsideration of the perplexing pattern of Germany's twentieth-century history. Konrad Jarausch and Michael Geyer explore the staggering gap between the country's role in the terrors of war and its subsequent success as a democracy. They argue that the collapse of Communism, national reunification, and the postmodern shift call for a new reading of the country's turbulent development, one that no longer suggests continuity but rupture and conflict. Comprising original essays, the book begins by reexamining the nationalist, socialist, and liberal master narratives that have dominated the presentation of German history but are now losing their hold. Treated next are major issues of recent debate that suggest how new kinds of German history might be written: annihilationist warfare, complicity with dictatorship, the taming of power, the impact of migration, the struggle over national identity, redefinitions of womanhood, and the development of consumption as well as popular culture. The concluding chapters reflect on the country's gradual transition from chaos to civility. This penetrating study will spark a fresh debate about the meaning of the German past during the last century. There is no single master narrative, no Weltgeist, to be discovered. But there is a fascinating story to be told in many different ways. 606 $aHistoriography$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aHistory$xPhilosophy 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xHistoriography 606 $aNationalism$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGermany$xSocial conditions$y20th century 615 0$aHistoriography$xHistory 615 0$aHistory$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xHistoriography. 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory 676 $a943.08/07/2043 700 $aJarausch$b Konrad Hugo$0153820 701 $aGeyer$b Michael$f1947-$01724187 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814340803321 996 $aShattered past$94126044 997 $aUNINA
